Fab Fit Fun Summer Box

Summer is in full swing and if you’ve been on Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen people posting about the Fab Fit Fun box. I’ve posted about Fab Fit Fun before and I’m here to do it again because it’s honestly one of my favorite things to get in the mail. I’ve been a loyal customer for at least 3 years and during that time I have really grown to love the company and the boxes. The Summer 2019 box is no exception!

LOVING MY FAB FIT FUN SUMMER 2019 BOX!

Also loving this summer dress - shop it here!

So what exactly is a Fab Fit Fun box??

The box is a box full of beauty, wellness, fashion, and fitness products valued at over $200 and always FULL SIZE (no sample minis here). Each season Fab Fit Fun comes out with a new box (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) with products tailored to that season in some way, shape, or form.

Which subscription is right for me?

Fab Fit Fun offers a few subscription options. In my opinion, the ANNUAL subscription offers the best bang for your buck!

1. Seasonal Subscription - The seasonal subscription means you’ll pay $49.99 each season (4 times per year) and will ship according to the seasonal schedule. This option is great if you aren’t sure you want to continue with the boxes or want to try them out for a few seasons.

2. Annual Subscription - The annual subscription is what I have opted to have and it’s totally worth it. You will still receive a box every season but you'll pay a one time yearly fee of $179.99 (that gives you a little extra savings and also A LOT of perks). If you are an annual subscriber, you will also become a “Select Member” which means your box usually ships out earlier and you get to customize the items you want in your box - a feature that sold me on annual vs. seasonal! If you have the seasonal, you can always upgrade to the annual subscription if you change your mind!

This summer’s box is filled with so many great products. My personal favorite is the COOLA Setting Spray that is SPF 30 and great to throw in your bag for the pool or the beach!

How do I sign up?

If you want to try a Fab Fit Fun box, you can sign up HERE and RECEIVE $10 OFF YOUR FIRST BOX

Depending on when you sign up, you will receive either the seasonal box (right now it would be summer) or an Editor’s Box (if seasonal is sold out). Either box is filled with the $200 worth of products! I actually started off with an Editor’s Box because I signed up in between seasons.

If you have any questions about the Fab Fit Fun box or my experience with it, please feel free to comment below or DM me on Instagram!

Happy Summer!

Hibba Beauty - The Best Brows of Westchester

If any of you are like me, you’re a total psycho about your eyebrows and one wrong wax or pluck can do a year’s worth of damage. My entire life I avoided getting my brows waxed because I would watch people go into salons looking like one person and come out looking like another (and not in a good way). Thin brows, they just aren’t my thing, but neither are overdrawn or perfectly lined. So, clearly I needed to find an in-between and I found my answer with eyebrow threading. 

Living in NYC I was able to find brow threading salons all over the place, but after moving to Westchester I quickly realized that brow threading wasn’t a thing yet.  In my year or so of living here, I found one place who threaded and only on Sundays, with an appointment, aka, not convenient at all. 

Then finally around the holidays I heard about Hibba Beauty opening up in Scarsdale and I was SO EXCITED!

 Hibba is a brow queen (as are all of her team) and they have two locations in Manhattan and now the newest in Scarsdale. 

I couldn’t wait to check out their new spot on Garth Road. It’s easy to find and so inviting with the brightly colored orange walls and the elegant pop of white stenciling throughout. When I went in I was greeted by Marcela who was so sweet and I immediately sat down to get started.

Now for those of you who don’t know anything about threading, it’s basically what it sounds like! They use thin thread to remove unwanted hair at the follicle level (just like plucking or waxing) but in a much more efficient and much less painful manner. It takes all of 5 minutes to get perfectly shaped brows and the more you consistently thread, the better your brows will be!

Unlike waxing, there isn’t the fear that they will take off way too much and you can tell the estitichian exactly what you like.  I always say I want mine “cleaned up” which results in even brows with no straggler hairs and a more defined shape.  Marcela gave me exactly what I asked for and I couldn’t have been happier! 

The other great thing about threading is that the redness afterwards is minimal compared to waxing and if you have dry skin (like I do) it doesn’t remove your skin as much as waxing does. You can thread and go about your day without needing to hide what you’ve just done...can anyone say lunch break?! 

If threading isn’t your thing, Hibba Scarsdale also offers waxing, microblading, and other services like organic facials.  I know I will definitely be back soon to try more services out and I can confidently say I’ve now found my go-to salon for brows...hallelujah!  

My post-threading brows…still maintained my natural shape, but just cleaned up and more defined!

If you’re in the the Westchester or NYC area, be sure to check out Hibba!
